Can't sync contacts with my PDA or add or delete contacts ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Does Windows XP have SP2 installed? If so, and if it is safe to turn off
the SP2 provided firewall (you have a hardware firewall or something
like ZoneAlarm installed), try turning off the SP2 firewall and then try
syncing.

Yes, I do have SP2 installed. Here is the latest. I reset to default all
the options in outlook. I have
control of all functions except contacts from the computer. I now sync
without the annoying "a program is trying to access your computer etc."
Anything I put in the pda now syncs with outlook. The problem is the PDA
seems to control the contacts. By that I mean any changes I make on the PDA
are updated on the pc but I still cannot add, delete or modify the contacts
on the computer. Still think I should proceed with turning off the firewall?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Todd here is the very latest. I checked the firewall and the exceptions are
Activesync and remote access. Therefore I don't think that is the problem
but, I'm certainly not one to judge. Also, I spoke to soon on the current
operation. Here is how it stands:
From the computer I can acess calendar, contacts, tasks,
notes etc. I can modify everything except contacts which I can only view.
However, everything I modify never syncs with the PDA. On the other hand, I
have access to everyhthing on the PDA and any changes I make automatically
update on the computer. I know it sounds like I have the wrong sync options
on the activesync but I don't think so

One last thing. When I attempt to add, modify or change contacts in Outlook
from the computer a window pops up saying,"The messaging interface has
returned an unknown error, If problem persists restart Outlook. Restarting
Outlook does nothing.
Thanks

OK. Couple of thoughts (none definitive).

0. Check the various info items and links to other ActiveSync help sites
I've collected in my ActiveSync QuickFAQs at...

http://ogasawalrus.com/mobileviews/mobilefaqs/ActiveSyn...

If nothing there is useful...

1. Head over to the Outlook newsgroup to get good advice on how to go
about backing up your desktop Outlook PST file and then restoring it if
necessary.

1.1. After you are satisfied with the PST file backup and restoration
procedure...

2. Go into ActiveSync (no need to have your PPC connected) and delete
the partnership.

3. Repair or reinstall Outlook on the desktop (you may end up doing both
if repair does not do the trick)

4. Rebuild the partnership

Stop everything. It appears that I have 4 personal folders files that I
need to take care of. When I go to Outlook Today (personal folders)
everything works fine. What an idiot I am. I have spent the last 4 days
working on this problem. Thanks again for your help. I may need some
assistance in managing or deleting the other folders but that can wait.

Thanks again

Mike

Yeah, that's happened to me before too. It's fairly simple to
import/export and not allow duplicates to consolidate. I had
appointments and contacts scattered over several pst's.

Microsoft outlook is the file where user store the information for future use. It is not possible for use to remember such a long data or information for long time.Data gets stored in the personal storage file. You may not able to syn you data with the PDA , even you may not bale to sens any contacts. Even situation arises that data even not gets deleted , at this type of situation you must go for any stellar outlook pst repair tool.
